Yes folks, it's that time of year and once again, here is my Thanksgiving e-mail with disposal do's and don'ts. For those that are traveling, don't forget to shut the water off to your home before leaving. For those that will be entertaining the masses, go easy on that disposal and don't stuff it like that soon to be cooked bird that will be adorning your dining room table.

Thanks to all who are long-time customers and to those that have recently joined the Heffner Plumbing customer ranks. Your patronage is greatly appreciated. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Moderation and a dose of common sense typically are all that is needed to make Thanksgiving "plumber free." Small amounts of food and plenty of cold water are usually the recipe needed to keep the garbage disposal working properly. Fibrous foods such as celery or carrot peels can clog the drain and the same can be said for pastas.

If a drain does clog and you can't get it clear with a plunger, call in the professionals to get the problem fixed.
